Met Eireann Ireland weather pinpoint two hottest days of year during huge heatwave

Met Eireann has pinpointed the two hottest days of the year during a savage five-day heatwave this week.

Monday right through to Friday will be glorious with temperatures never dipping below 19C.

But the real days to look out for are Wednesday and Thursday where the dial will turn up to a scorching 22C over the 48-hour hot period.

Monday will kick this all off taking over from where Sunday left off with mild and dry long spells of sunshine with 20C temperatures.

Even overnight will be clear with temperatures only dropping to 12C. 

Here's how the next few days are looking according to Met Eireann:

Tomorrow: "Tuesday will be another very mild and dry day with long spells of hazy sunshine. Highest temperatures of 19 or 20 degrees with light to moderate, variable breezes."

Wednesday: "It will be a cloudier day overall with rain developing in the south during the morning and moving northwards through the day. Maximum temperatures will range between 15 degrees in Munster to 22 degrees in Ulster, with light to moderate east to southeast winds."



Thursday: "It looks like Thursday will start quite cloudy with further showery outbreaks of rain, but turning drier and sunnier for the afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 14 to 22 degrees, warmest in the north and northeast, with light to moderate southerly breezes."

Friday: "It looks set to start mostly dry with sunny spells, but scattered showers are likely during the afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees."



Next weekend: "The outlook for next weekend is for a mix of sunny spells and showers with daytime temperatures generally reaching the mid to high teens."
